Anyone know where i can obtain charts of IPE futures (e.g. Brent Crude)? They appear in Futuresource's symbol list, but there are no delayed quotes/charts when you click on the link.

you don't agree with the commodity bull market theory?

I have just ordered his latest book Hot Commodities. Have you read it? Any good?

whatever... as I said I couldn't care less how you classify him

Yep, thought about it....selling options naked, shorting gold futures etc is NOT investing, it is trading. This distinction was pointed out to Jim by Jack Schwager at the beginning of the interview in Market Wizards. If someone feels uncomfortable with being called a 'trader' when he...

Sure he invests. But shorting things, selling options etc is hardly investing... I have a lot of respect for him. However, his timing is out, often by years. He acknowledges this though as he says, he is often too early with his calls. Check out his call on the Nikkei in Market Wizards...

I trade/research from an office at home...will this suffice?

After reading all of this hilarious thread, I have decided to state on the form that I am a Fund Manager (well it sounds respectable). Admittedly, it's not as cool as "Critical Liquidity Provider" or "Third World Debt Trader". As an aside, I was wondering what a stripper would put down on...

perhaps, but i need to fill in the form NOW

What do you state your occupation is for official purposes e.g. applications for passport, insurance etc?
